WordPress Origin Story

I started contributing as a writer for the ICT Teachers Association website in 2018 on the invitation of a friend of mine, Rogers Mukalele. When WordCamp Kampala was announced at the end of 2018, I felt obliged to attend in order to learn more from other WordPressers.

When I attended I was surprised to know that WordPress was not only a blogging platform but could also be used to bild websites. As a new year resolution, I decided that I had to learn how to build websites. I was fast tracked by Rogers and when WordCamp Entebbe was announced in March 2019, I registered as a speaker so that I could share what I had learnt.

I was given the opportunity to speak by Kasirye Arthur, the organiser under the topic: Turn Your Passion into Income with WordPress. This was the begining of more speaking engagements with an opportnity tpo share at WordPress meetps that year and eventually another speakership and volunteer role at WordCamp Kampala in 2019.

At the begining of 2020, all physical events went for a break due to the Corona epidemic. When we finally got some relief, together with Rogers, we embarked on building a WordPress community in our home area, Jinja. This gave birth to the Jinja WordPress meetup.

In 2022, we were privilged to host our first WordCampJinja where I was co-organiser and speaker.

Surely, code is poetry
